Does Thunderbird support outlook.com ews functionality?

Does Thunderbird support outlook.com ews functionality?

Chosen solution

TB supports IMAP, POP and SMTP access to outlook.com accounts, and contact synchronization via an add-on (and another add-on also syncs tasks and calendars).

Actually, I don't think you can use EWS with Outlook.com any more, only ActiveSync. There might be a different add-on for that.

Microsoft told everyone when they re-did outlook that EAS was going away as well as IMAP. My current configuration is: https://outlook.office365.com/EWS/Exchange.asmx

This is an outlook.com address. I have 3 others that have the same configuration. I'm considering using Thunderbird as a client rather than emClient.

Did they? I have never seen such and they have never notified me of any changes of that nature on any of my accounts. Could you point me to a page?

Thank you both. Apparently there's disconnect between Microsoft and everyone else. Not unusual.

I'll mark this as resolved

Sorry, it was DeltaSync that was going away. They went to EAS which, I believe, is under EWS.

See this old link: https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windowslive/forum/livemail-sync/windows-live-mail-2012-synchronization-with/a0b297ec-ac83-4ed7-bc8c-4bbf3da95060

Also, this: Please be informed that, the new Outlook.com makes use of Exchange Active Sync Protocol. The Microsoft Exchange ActiveSync lets devices synchronize with your Inbox, your Calendar, and other items that have dedicated Microsoft Exchange Server mailboxes. We would not recommend you to use other third-party mail services. You can opt for Office Mail Client, Windows Mail app which comes inbuilt within the Windows 10 and Outlook.com web based interface.

Well, of course, they couldn't recommend a solution that involved you NOT buying Microsoft software. ;-)
